Objectives: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common and potentially severe complication in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). There is no consensus on the best definition of CI-AKI to identify patients at risk of haemodialysis or death. The objective of this study was to assess the association of CI-AKI, using four definitions, on inhospital mortality, mortality or haemodialysis requirement over 1-year follow-up, in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.

Article Synopsis
- Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to hinder coral calcification and boost bioerosion, notably by microborers that degrade calcium carbonate substrates in reefs.
- Microborer colonization is more pronounced in lower pH environments, as observed in field studies at acidified reefs, with varied penetration depths but no clear link to CO2 levels.
- The findings suggest that OA enhances microborer activity, potentially leading to a decline in reef structure and habitat integrity, which could have significant ecological repercussions.

Biogenic dissolution of carbonates by microborers is one of the main destructive forces in coral reefs and is predicted to be enhanced by eutrophication and ocean acidification by 2100. The chlorophyte Ostreobium sp., the main agent of this process, has been reported to be one of the most responsive of all microboring species to those environmental factors.
